Social sustainability provides complex responses to the increasingly pressing challenges of our world, which have an impact on all aspects of life, including conflict resolution through mediation. My aim is to examine the methodology of mediation from the perspective of how education and training in the subject can adequately respond to the demands of social sustainability.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for environmentally sustainable production and consumption in line with the green transition within the European Union (EU); however, the EU is yet to fully incorporate Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (ADR) in the resolution of environmental matters, let alone in providing redress for disgruntled consumers and traders. This paper attempts to analyse the effectiveness of the incorporation of ADR mechanisms in consumer protection disputes within the EU as an alternative to litigation, with a keen look at international emerging trends and international best practices.

The relationship between restorative justice and consensual procedures
Restorative justice, consensual procedures, mediation procedure, plea agreement, confession in the preparatory session
The paper shows how restorative justice fits in with consensual procedures satisfied with procedural justice based on confession of guilt. In our view, the protection of the interests of victims, the establishment of truthful facts and the enforcement of social justice are all objectives that must guide the legislation and the application of law in the 21st century. Although the Hungarian Code of Criminal Procedure has considerably broadened the combinability of consensual procedures, the dangers of the eclipse of material justice cannot be ignored. More specifically, the contradiction that the more effective restorative justice is, the more pressure is put on the defendant to participate in it, trading the possibility of total victory for the certainty of avoiding total defeat. And although the institutions of the plea agreement and the confession in the preparatory session may compete with the mediation procedure, the latter is the one that can provide the most complete reparation for the victim.
